That's My World - The Mai Tiki Resort

Located just south of Oscoda, Michigan and on the shores of Lake Huron is the seasonal Mai Tiki Resort. I've never stayed here, but have driven by many, many times. I just love the colors.

The Devil's Den

Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and as seen from Little Round Top, the rocky area on the center right of this shot is the Devil's Den, also known to soldier's as The Valley of Death. This was one of the main battlefields of the Civil War, being the area where many Confederate soldiers lost their lives. It is said that this area is one of the most haunted areas in Gettysburg. Rumors say that cameras often won't work here or they will mysteriously get knocked out of the photographers hands.. I personally never encountered this while we were there, nor did I witness anything paranormal.

Snow Clouds

The snow clouds looming over Lake Huron on a cold December day.

The Ice Is Forming On Lake Huron

Took a walk out on the pier in Alpena this past Saturday morning and caught this shot of Thunder Bay. It was cold, but worth it.

Ornaments & Beads

These were in a box of Christmas decorations that my mother was getting ready to put up around her house. Aren't they pretty?

The Bellflower & the Fly

Took this shot over in Presque Isle last week when Sara and I went out to see the lighthouses on the shores of Lake Huron.

Sharing The Love

Walking through the woods, my mom pointed out these two ferns that look like a heart.

Columbine

Columbine is one of my favorite flowers, and lucky me, it grows all over here in northern Michigan.

Little Grasshopper

I've been practicing with macro photography a lot lately. Here's a small grasshopper that I found in my mom's yard one day, while out looking for flower shots.

The Fly

Yes, I think flies are nasty little critters, but this picture turned out pretty well. I just had to share it..

SkyWatch Friday

My daughter and I took a walk out in our field the other day and out of nowhere came this very low flying plane. We live about 30 miles from a National Guard base and regional airport, so I imagine they were out doing drills or something, but it caught me completely off guard..

That's My World - Morel Season

The morel, in case you are unaware, is a tasty little delicacy and highly sought after mushroom that many people like to hunt this time of year. Here in northern Michigan, several towns have festivals to celebrate this hot little item that can bring in at least $20 per pound. I've been on a hunt trying to find them within this last week. We drove out to some state land and looked high and low and this was the only one we could find. Then yesterday my husband and I went for a walk in the woods on the back of our ten acres, and guess what, we found seven of them. We went back out this afternoon and found eight more. We haven't had much rain lately though, and since rain is helpful to their growth, I think later this week after the forecasted rain, we might just find us a bundle.
